the canberra skit was lame, but the pope card up first was briliant – as their openers often are (the wayne carey fragrance skit [wan-kery] last season is one of the sharpest wordplay skits i’ve seen for a long time…)

as holden notes, the gulf between the good and not good bits is a chasm, but the highlights overall make it worthwhile.

I use to watch this show, until they ran their survey on Internet censorship in Australia. The Hungry Beast commissioned survey showed 80% of Australian’s support Mr. Conroy’s planned filter. Of course people will support anyhthing when you totally mis-represent the facts to them when asking them the question. For details: http://www.geordieguy.com/?p=32

So the comedy in the show isn’t worth watching it for. The ‘journalism’ is questionable. Doesn’t really leave much of a reason to watch the show…..

I loved the skit. I’m Canberran born and bred, and the only reason I can see for people getting all wound up about it is that the truth hurts. I’ve you’ve lived in Sydney you’ll understand the joke about no traffic in Canberra (have any of you seen a street in Sydney with as few cars on it as ANZAC Parade during the middle of a work day?). You’ll note a common theme between the Canberra and Hobart skits which is most appealing to Sydney audiences.

Ironically, at least two comments here have referred to Veronica Milsom (she plays Victoria Dynamite, starred in the Lady Gaga skit, and was present in the “Brazilian Soap”), but none of the other actors get a mention. People might want to refresh their memory about Veronica’s work, including the Tits Get Clicks skit.

But then you probably wouldn’t get the joke, because you’re actually part of it.

I agree with Kidkenosha. i love canberra, and always tell my melbourne friends, tongue in cheek, that it’s because it’s the funnest place in australia… takes a certain kind of person to appreciate this place i think. and you have to laugh at that.

Amendments to give renters more rights have passed the Legislative Assembly. It will be easier for renters to keep a pet, make minor modifications to their rental property, and to break a lease without incurring significant costs https://t.co/UG9YEv9ilQ(8 hours ago)
